Bloody Snow

By Renae Paraiso
Editor in Chief

This little creation I made during the seventh grade as an assignment in my art class. It was done in photoshop elements, and we, the class and I, had to make backgrounds with that and art tablets. The work was fun to say the least, and your probably pondering to yourself, "Why is the snow red?" Before you ask, yes that is snow, and I just felt like it. Most people want to have a white Christmas, but I thought I would have been better if it was a bloody one. Pretty morbid yes, but that's how I am.

Interview with Mr. Higgins

By Chris Vivanco and Marino Martinez

Staff Writers

Mr. Higgins

We walked over to Mr. Higgins's classroom to interview him, but he was busy teaching and he told us to give him a moment.  We waited for him to finish his lesson and then he came out and asked us how he could help us.  He was very polite.  We told him that we had some questions to ask him for an interview as we are staff writers for the school newspaper. He said ok so we got out our pen and paper for notes, and started to ask him questions.

The interview was a good one. We asked him all the questions we had with us, and he answered them all.  For some of the questions he answered with silly answers. These are the questions we asked him:

Q: How many years have you been teaching at Webster?
A: Three.
Q: What college did you graduate from?
A: CSUN.
Q: What is your best way of teaching?
A: Being strict.
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: Just babies!
Q:What is your favorite food?
A: Tacos.
Q: What is your college degree?
A: Anthropology
Q: Would you rather teach another class?
A: No.
Q: What do you do in  your free time?
A: Reading.
Q: How old are you?
A: 34 years old.

Well, that was the interview. Thank you for taking your time to read this. We hope you enjoyed this interview.  Make sure you look for the next Webster teacher interview with the awesome Ms. Macris.

Portal, Game Revew

By Jesus Diaz  

Staff Writer                                                                                                                                            

Portal is a skill game on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC platforms.  It is rated T for Teen.  There also is a sequel, Portal 2, out now. In the game you have a Portal gun. One side of the gun is blue, and if you shoot that side of the gun at a cement wall, it will teleport you to an orange portal.  The gun also has an orange side.  If you shoot that at a wall, and then shoot the blue wall next to it, you’ll go through the blue portal.  The gun shoots blue and orange colors.

Blue and orange portals

The purpose of the game is to escape the building you’re trapped in, and all you have for a weapon is your portal gun, which takes you to different places in the building.  Beware of the bad robots in the game that can shoot you.  You can’t shoot them back, but you can knock them down.  You can find out how if you play!

You should check out both Portal and Portal 2.  Portal 2 is now available for $29.99 and you can buy it at Game Market inside Xbox 360, at he Playstation Store inside the PS3, and download it onto your PC. You can also buy it at Game Stop and Best Buy.

I would give this game five of five stars.
